[problems] recaller
 

does anyone know where I can set which folder the recorded files are stored?

Re: program recaller issue
 

What are "recorded files", and what exactly is this question about? A specific application?

Re: program recaller issue
 

I'm guessing recaller voice recorder. If so file folder is hardcoded.

Re: program recaller issue
 

./usr/lib/hildon-desktop/reaceller.py
The above file has the folder name hardcoded as finalname = "/home/user/MyDocs/" . So all recorded files are falling into this folder. I am the noobest here and not sure if just changing this path in the reaceller.py would be enough? Geeks pls clarify.

Re: program recaller issue
 

I can confirm that above mentioned change works. Copied the ./usr/lib/hildon-desktop/reaceller.py file to a local folder and using pyGTKEditor changed the finalname value to a path which suits my need. Then moved the file back to the original ./usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ path through X terminal.

recaller . not working any help out there ??
 

my recaller app is not working anymore ? i have uninstall it and install and now it doesn't appear in my apps. is there an update or changes i dont know about ???

Re: recaller . not working any help out there ??
 

It's a widget, not an application.

To access it, click on your home screen, and open the desktop settings tab. Open the desktop menu, and go to add widget.

got thanks

Re: recaller . not working any help out there ??
 

It disappeared from my desktop (possibly put in pocket without screen locked) , and still appears on the "add widget" menu, but when i try to select it from that menu, nothing happens.
Anyone else had that?

Re: recaller . not working any help out there ??
 

Mine isn't working too. After the updating it isn't recording, when you configure and click on settings, nothing happens. Only thing working is the help menu.

Uninstalled, rebooted, installed again, and nothing.

The 0.x version was working great.

Any clues?

Re: program recaller issue
 

I tried to install the main file but it gave me an error that other files "hildon" is required. What steps did you follow for the installation..

HELP

i was using 2.0.0-7 but removed it because it had way to many issue. well 2.0.0-7 is gone but i still get notifications??????? how do i fulllyyy get rid of it

Re: program recaller issue
 

I would try with a reboot...
(I guess the callbacks are still active and removing an icon from hildon-home does not kill the app, but just make it invisible. And uninstalling it removes it from the device, but it still is in memory)

Re: program recaller issue
 

i had tried everything under the sun. its been like this for a week.

Re: [Implemented] Call recording for N900
 

Seems like due some bug, recaller fails to stop recording sometimes.
Well, has happened once, and just now recaller has recorded over an hour already and I do not know how to stop it.
ps command doesn't give a hint what process should be killed.
# ps -a|grep recall
6653 root 2088 S grep recall

Still it says time to time "recaller: recording since (one hour ago)"
The widget on the desktop is green but nothing happens when clicked.

edit: I noticed /home/user/MyDocs is not mounted and I have recaller store its recordings to /home/user/MyDocs/recaller/
There is no /home/user/MyDocs/recaller when /dev/mmcblk0p1 is not mounted.

Removing widget from Desktop and reinstalling it didn't help either. The notifications pop-up bars still come up time to time. But it is not writing to any file though, even after I manually mounted /dev/mmcblk0p1 to /home/user/MyDocs

edit2:
Rebooting got rid of the notification.

Why /dev/mmcblk0p1 is not mounted after the re-boot, I do not know.
Is it a known bug?

Re: [Implemented] Call recording for N900
 

Did you plugin USB sometime during the recording?

Re: program recaller issue
 

I had the charger plugged in.

But I think the bug is because N900 when re-booted via power-menu "Reboot"-command does not mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 for some reason. And if recaller has its destination directory (/home/user/MyDocs/recaller/) set to place which does not exist, it starts recording when a phone call comes, but gots messed up because there were no destination directory, ....so the system bug caused a recaller bug.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Mine does that too, but no reboots.

Also, it sometimes goes completely nuts if, while it does this, another call comes in. CPU is pushed to 100%, phone becomes very hard to use and the conversation is chopped up, sometimes a little, sometimes I can't understand anything.

I had to disable it to make a few calls today.

Right now, if I want to be able to make a phone call I have to reboot after each call via power button.

ETA:

Oh, and I know I'm not going to be able to talk when it takes 5 seconds for the notification to pop up. Usually it's pretty fast but sometimes it takes maybe 10 seconds for the "pick up call" to appear.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

In my case recaller works quite well, but recorded calls present very weak volume of the remote speaker. My voice is instead clear and loud. Anyone with the same problem? How to adjust the rec volumes?

Re: [problems] recaller
 

This problem is rather old and needs to be fixed, we all have it AFAIK. You can change the source from phone to system or somesuch, but then the reverse happens. Also it's odd when speaker is used.

However, the app is quite promising and I'm sticking to it as long as someone keeps developing it.

ETA:

Now that I reviewed my call log (didn't do that in a while), I noticed why it's so dang slow. No wonder, seeing as it records everything twice. First time when an incoming call happens, then again with the notification. The second call is a few seconds behind.

I think maybe it's because I have both icons on desktop? Also, one is system recorded, the second is Phone or something like it because one is clear and the other has ambient sounds and clicks on it. Also, one has a lower volume for one party.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

my calls don't seem to be recorded..what's wrong? i go to the file where i set it to be recorded to and i don't see any sound clips...

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Please don't cross-post. A reply is in the other thread.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

All these bugs happen because you have two instances of the widget. You shouldn't do that :-)
I'll change the desktop file in the next update to make it impossible to have it more than once - it doesn't make sense and can't be handled properly by the app.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

I also have this problem (recorded on the ratings page for the application) - is there any any to fix it?

Re: [problems] recaller
 

But I RTFM and I distinctly remeber it saying I can have 2, one as auto recorder and a second for a dictaphone. I have since went to one and it stopped doing it. It's still slowing down the system when recording sometimes but now it's one in 10 calls down from 8 or 9.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

There is no FM, just the wiki page with an entry in the wishlist from an anonymous author with a rather obsucre request for something similar.
And as I am the developer of this widget, I can say for sure that it will not work for good as I programmed it myself :D
Of course it's slowing down the system - when recording, you're doing real time AAC encoding on a mobile device...

Re: [problems] recaller
 

You are, of course, correct. It doesn't work.

I assume the least load is with WAV. I noticed, however, that the peak load is at the beginning of the call. Is it related to encoder loading or something similar? I don't remeber ever aacting up in the middle of it.

It also races with espeakcaller, which really needs to load and work as soon as a call is incoming. Any way to reduce initial call load?

Edit: WAV should help, trying now.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Ugh - fixed it really easily which will teach me to experiment with settings first before moaning!

Simply change the audio source to 'system' and voila lovely clear FM recording!

Simples ;-)

Re: [problems] recaller
 

WAV recording really lightened the load, it still gargles, but now only in the beginning of the call, after the first 5 seconds it's butter smooth.

Only problem is I now move 700M a week or so :)

Oh well, PC will transcode those.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Somehow i managed to stuck recaller, the only way i could stop recording was to reboot my N900.

Does anyone know which process i should've killed to stop recording?

Also, is there a temporary storage where the recording goes? It was recording for half an hour, but that file is not in the directory set by me.

-sc

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Hi, I'm having a problem with Recaller - I ALWAYS getting recaller messages on top of calling screens, even though I disabled showing messages in the recaller's options.
These messages forces the call window to loose focus, causing the call windows to rotate to landscape view which is quite annoying...
Anyone knows of a solution to this?

Re: [problems] recaller
 

With PR1.2 recaller is unable to automatically record a incomming call. Is it only me? :(

Re: [problems] recaller
 

Here its working, maybe try to unset Autorec, then save, then set Autorec again, and save again, or reinstall.

But I noticed that having recaller and eSpeakCaller installed, then after a call, all widgets can't be clicked anymore!
I have to reboot or switch to a different desktop via DesktopActivityManager.
I disabled eSpeakCaller, and the unclickable-widgets-problem didn't occured since 3 days...

Anyone here having the same problem?

Re: [problems] recaller
 

the only problem i have with recaller is that it does not accept any other path for saving except the default path. otherwise it does not save the files

Re: [problems] recaller
 

In my case, it records fine, but many times the pop-up message that a telephone recording has started or ended is missing.

Since I did the PR1.2 OTA when the phone rings the display become quite messy and many size readjustments happen until it stabilises and shows who's calling. I have the feeling that it's related.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

@helmuth, bitrocky:

No and no. They work well here and there is no widget problem. I upgraded OTA and never reinstalled any of them.

ESpeakCaller no longer speaks automatically, but that's (IIRC) known. It's a daemon problem, since the test button and the CLI works fine.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

i don't have any problem with it either. It is very handy Appl.

Re: [problems] recaller
 

I noticed 2 issues with recaller.
For some reason the widget gets removed from desk top automatically, in such cases it does not record.
